At Revealed Travel, we strongly believe in providing support and help for social projects in the regions where we work. In Latin America we are working with the travel industry to support a range of social projects throughout the region. These projects are helping to transform lives, providing clean water, dental or medical support and practical training to provide people with new skills in Mexico, Central and South America.

The LATA Foundation was set up by the Latin America Travel Association – a consortium of tourist boards, airlines, tour operators, hotels, ground agents, travel publishers, PR companies and the travel press – to put something back into the countries and region where we all work. Since it was formed in 2007, the LATA Foundation has donated over £220,000 to a wide range of environmental and social projects in Latin America.

The LATA Foundation is run entirely by volunteers, most of whom have a background in the travel industry. As LATA covers bank fees and administration charges, pays for any printing and publicity materials, it means that all donations go directly to projects and are not swallowed up by overheads. Projects themselves are carefully vetted, assessed and closely monitored to ensure that funds go where they are needed most.

In 2017 the LATA Foundation has donated £50,000 to 13 grassroots projects, including the following:
